“And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.”
These women were helping to support them out of their own means — the financial support of the ministry by the women is Luke's unique information: these women had independent means and used them to support the itinerant teaching community. The supporting out of their own means communicates both the women's active agency and the ministry's practical needs. The kingdom community is sustained by the generosity of those it has transformed.
